decision making to dynamic case studies about managing uncertainty, you will learn

about accounting frameworks and how to apply real financial tools to real world

situations. The curriculum covers fundamental financial principles for project evaluation,

funding, and resource allocation, and demonstrates how to work more effectively with

financial decision makers, applying the principles of finance to short-term and long-

range goals. You will gain an understanding of how finance is inextricably linked to

business and operations and is a necessary skill for promoting your own projects. The

course also considers global markets and uncertainties, helping you identify where

your organization may have a competitive edge.
